Title: The Causes of War and the Spread of Peace
Author: Azar Gat
ISBN: 978-0-19-879502-5
Publisher: Oxford UP
Year: 2017
Hardcover
Pages: 303
The author has undertaken an analysis of war as a fundamental aspect of
man’s psychological development. He suggests that conflict is in fact a
manifestation of societies need for: culling of the weak, power, resources and
space. The first world has developed to the point where these needs have been
met without the need to resort to physical violence; diminishing the requirement
for war. Non-first world countries do not have this level of development and
are still subject to the more basic needs. Globalization means that the
challenges of these countries cannot be contained within their boundaries. A
thoughtful and well balanced analysis of modern international challenges.
